  "account": "The Memphis Grizzlies have announced that Cedric Coward will miss their upcoming game against the Golden State Warriors on October 23 due to a left wrist sprain. Coward had previously been listed as doubtful for the match, and the Grizzlies will rely on guard GG Jackson to fill in for him, who scored 12 points in 19 minutes during their previous game on October 21.\n\nOn the other hand, the Grizzlies will welcome back Isaiah Stewart to their lineup as he is set to make his season and Grizzlies debut. Stewart missed the opening game due to an injury, which occurred in the first quarter of a preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks on October 5. After recovering from his injury, Stewart is expected to provide crucial depth to the current center rotation alongside Zach Edey and Quinten Post. The Grizzlies acquired Stewart through a trade with the Detroit Pistons.",
